The Truth Is Out There? Yorgos Lanthimos's Dark Comedy Bugonia Lands October 24th

New York, NY — Director Yorgos Lanthimos is set to unleash his latest absurdist vision upon American audiences with the release of Bugonia on October 24, 2025. The film, an English-language remake of the 2003 South Korean cult classic Save the Green Planet!, promises a darkly comic and deeply unsettling look at paranoia, corporate power, and extraterrestrial obsession.

Bugonia stars Academy Award-winner Emma Stone (in her latest collaboration with Lanthimos) as the high-powered CEO of a major company. Her world is violently turned upside down when two conspiracy-obsessed men, played by Jesse Plemons and Aidan Delbis, kidnap her. Their motive? A deeply held conviction that she is, in fact, an alien entity intent on destroying Earth.

The talented ensemble cast also features Alicia Silverstone and comedian Stavros Halkias.

The synopsis provided by Focus Features hints at the bizarre territory the film explores: "Two conspiracy-obsessed men kidnap the CEO of a major company when they become convinced that she's an alien who wants to destroy Earth." Early festival buzz confirms the film delves into Lanthimos's signature style of blending deadpan humor with psychological terror, using the wild premise to explore contemporary anxieties about misinformation and systemic power.

With the creative team behind Poor Things and Kinds of Kindness promising a surreal and unsettling experience, Bugonia is positioned to be a must-see event this Halloween season, kicking off its limited theatrical run on October 24, 2025, before expanding to a wider release. Moviegoers should prepare for a cinematic journey where the line between mad obsession and cosmic truth is dangerously blurred.
